Are the EOS switches new? Are they properly gapped? Did this problem happen as soon as you rebuilt the flippers?
So many questions!

It appears that ToM has a Fliptronics board for the flippers. According to Clay's guide, it looks like games that have a Fliptronics board should have the EOS switches gapped normally open (meaning they should close when the flipper is activated). Check the left flippers EOS switch. Is it gapped properly?
I doubt there's any correlation there, but i could wrong. Researching the problem a bit more, it looks like it would be worth taking a close look at the wiring to the EOS switches (both). Apparently it's not uncommon for a wire to break off one of the switches solder lugs. Gently pull on each wire going to them to be sure the wiring is firmly attached. I would also clean the switches by swiping a business card or folded up piece of paper between the contacts a couple times to be sure they're making good contact.
